Fall 2008

I found it at my favorite resale shop last year after they put their Halloween stuff on clearance! It was a perfect fit for this year!

I tried to convince little man to be John Smith or a "cowboy", but he had ideas of his own.

At first, he wanted to be another wild animal. I did actually find another great furry costume at Goodwill for $4, but it was a tad too small to be comfortable. My MIL ended up using it for her pumpkin-decorating contest!

I had picked up several super hero costumes there as well for his dress up box.

Once he saw "Dash", that was it!

He and I made the mask together.

Over the past few years, ever since she started preschool, I was never able to attend parties or school functions. They ALWAYS had them on T/TH; the days I worked. This year, little man is in a 1/2-day program just on Fridays at our church. It is usually a great time to run errands, clean, blog, or have a little me time.

The last couple of Fridays, I have enjoyed his class' pumpkin patch trip (forgot the camera!) and his Harvest Party.

Inspiration

"He told me that the angels talk about me. I asked Him what they say. If you could hear them whisper in hushed and reverant voices, you would hear them say, 'How beautiful, how glorious, how highly favored is she for whom the Son of God, the Lord of Glory chose to lay down His life.'

This is the truest thing about me."-from Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge
